I was wondering if Webroot has released any specialized detector for Heartbleed bug in Android devices. Or does WSA mobile for Android already detects it?
As mentioned here, When Google announced it had patched its key services, it also mentioned Android was largely unaffected, with one (big) exception -- devices running Android 4.1.1 The good news is Google has already sent a patch to its Android partners. The bad news? Now we have to wait for those partners to implement it, followed by carriers testing and pushing out the update. Android users know how slow this process can be. Hopefully with the critical nature of the Heartbleed bug, and the attention it's received, these partners and carriers will work quickly to get the fix out.
In the meantime, it would be great if users could verify if their Android devices are at risk. Some security companies for Android like Lookout has already released a detector as also mentioned in the article.
